SRINAGAR: As directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, daily maximum number of pilgrims permitted on the pilgrimage route has been fixed. Compliance with this daily ceiling limit is mandatory for the safety of pilgrims and for the smooth conduct of the Yatra.For pilgrims’ convenience, advance registration was made available well before the start of the Yatra through bank branches across the country and online channels. Most pilgrims have already taken advantage of this facility and completed their registrations in advance. 

Therefore, Tatkal (on spot) registration slots are extremely limited. All pilgrims are requested to reach Jammu and Kashmir only after completing their advance registration. Hence, it is not possible to accommodate thousands of pilgrims arriving in Jammu and Kashmir without registration, under the Tatkal facility.

Such pilgrims are requested to wait for their turn and travel only on the date assigned by the administration.It has also been observed that many registered pilgrims are arriving in Jammu and Kashmir before their registered travel date. No pilgrim will be permitted to travel before their registered date. Please travel only on your registered date.

Pilgrims who have arrived in Jammu and Kashmir without registration are again requested to wait for their turn. Be assured that every pilgrim will get an opportunity to undertake the Yatra, but this will be possible only according to the prescribed procedure and available capacity. You are requested to maintain order and cooperate with the administration to ensure everyone’s safety.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
